sure they are... i've created templates for both v2 and v3... it just takes some reading and some knowledge of php, but it's mostly html and phpbb variables.

lol, that's so close to lfs it's eerie.

i've tinkered with the idea of putting a fan in front of my chair, i figured the airflow would improve the virtual realism factor.

i have, on many occasions.

Quote from JJ72 :

driving one handed....um over here we can have some sudden dips in the road surface, mostly near the edge of the road, and that can suck you in, kind of like running into a deep puddle with one wheel, I drive with both hands as a precaution always.

some sections of our major highways have been repaved so many times that there is actually a hump from one layer to the next, hitting it at 100km/h gives you a nice jolt, i think the one time i even hit my head off the roof.

apparently if enough people complain, they shave the hump down, but they never do a good enough job of it. plus when they shave large sections of the road, it makes considerable noise on the tires.

highway 403 - brantford to ancaster
highway 403 - ancaster to burlington
highway 407 - burlington to vaughan (near toronto)
and last but not least, going the other way around highway 403 - brampton to oakville
oh hell, lets throw in some winter driving in too... highway 407 mississauga to vaughan

http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/dandv/driver/exchange.shtml

It's been like that the first time I saw it, so at least ~5 years or so, and probably longer than that. Only 9 countries can exchange their license without any hassles.
I live in Toronto and have ~30km one way to work, doubt it's better here...

hm, i guess it has been some time since the graduated system has been in place... funny how time flies by.

on the other hand, canada's worst driver 5 was only a couple years ago, and the one guy actually used to drive in the middle of the road... i guess some places in india don't have line markers. how he got his license over here is a mystery.

on the topic of worst traffic in canada, word has it that toronto is the worst, but i haven't been there in years. i would consider hamilton a close second or third though... maybe i'm just less tolerant of moron drivers than people in smaller cities/towns.

talk about baiting yourself out...

Quote from AutoPilot :

This is not true, except for a handful of countries like USA, Germany etc. with exchange agreements. E.g. even though I had almost 10 years of experience and a valid Cro license, I still had to take the written and road tests to get the Canadian driver license, it wasn't automatically given to me. It's juts that the waiting period is waived, so instead of waiting 1 year to take full G test, you can schedule it right away. You still have to take the tests though, and you have to prove that you have 2x the time required in Canada, so it was 4 years for full G (normal graduated licenses period is 2 years I think).

when was this? maybe they changed the system recently, but i don't believe so...

you should see how people drive in my city... it's part of the reason why i walk...

i had some rant to go with this, but i deleted it on the basis that i don't want to come off as some racist jerkwad.

i think the guys who made this played too much prey.

fun game, aside from the retard-4chan overload.

Quote from Jakg :

I'm all for it, if all other drivers on the road are ALSO forced to pass the same tests...

yeah, that's a problem... immigrants with licences from another country are automatically given licences here...

add to that the grandfathering of the old system, which means you can be a blind old dingbat and nothing will happen to you until you get pulled over for running over that playground of kids...

we have something similar in ontario too...

g1 - written multiple choice test, can't drive without a licensed passenger, can't drive on the major highways, no booze, can't take g2 for a year
g2 - simple road test, no booze, can't drive with a full car at night, can't take full g for a year
full g - highway road test, under 25 no booze still, over 80 have to take a vision test and get that same test every 2 years

Quote :

• The learner’s licence should not be fully valid until the learner driver has received a minimum of 10 hours’ professional tuition in a car with dual controls.

we don't require that, and i think it's rather silly. on the other hand, g1 drivers who do take driving school can take their g2 test some months early, and they get a break on their insurance.

Quote from J@tko :

Sauce: http://www.ehow.com/about_6171 ... h-fuel-747-jet-burn_.html

Of course you also need to consider that during take off and taxiing you've got all that fuel to take off too

actually, most taxiing is done under idle thrust... you need a little thrust to start rolling once you take off the parking brake, but it pretty much rolls along like a car does.

but i decided to try it out in a fully loaded 747-400 with fsx, despite the fact that it's hardly accurate (i had to re-do the 737-800's config, it was too light and underpowered compared to specs), and i used 18000lbs for takeoff and climb (to 35000@0.84M from 750-ground) alone... 17 pounds per second - per engine at it's worst... but i must say, that's still more than i had expected... that plane is a frigging pig... it makes you wonder how it can make it across the ocean.

anywho, back to f1... how come ferrari is doing so badly this year? they're usually the "i win" cars of the championship...

Quote from J@tko :

I know Concorde used 2 tons of fuel just TAXIING.

yes, but the concorde's P+W engine provides almost twice (if not more) the static thrust as the 737's CFM engine. plus, the concorde can do over mach 2... neither the 737 or 747 can be flown that fast, it would rip itself apart.

Quote from NSX_FReeDoM :

fun fact: do you know a 747 uses approximately 2000kg of fuel just for taxi and take off?

while the 737-800 has a smaller engine than the 747-100, i don't believe that figure...

6.75 lbs (average fuel weight for 1 gallon) x 48,500 gallons (747-100's tanks size) = 148,000kg of fuel... if it spends 2000 of that just taking off, then it's not going to go very far at mach 0.84, let alone have ~2 hours of additional fuel in case their destination airport can't accept their arrival.

how long did it spend taxiing? what was the ground level? what was the cruising altitude? did they follow FAA guidelines on speed? what was the climb rate? ...wind speed, weather?

that sounds more like a differential thing than suspension, no?

Quote from bunder9999 :

this is one thing i didn't consider earlier, but it might have some influence on whether Winnipeg gets the Jets back... the Manitoba Moose AHL team uses Winnipeg's stadium for games...

http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Hock ... /2011/04/21/18052451.html

So rather than risk double-booking a stadium (be it Hamilton or Winnipeg), they'll probably waste more money on keeping the team in Phoenix, at least for another year.

so much for the Manitoba moose, word now is that if Atlanta moves to Winnepeg, Manitoba is moving to St. John's Newfoundland, previous home to the Toronto Marlies (then called the St. John's Maple Leafs)... again, nothing is finalized or confirmed.

http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hocke ... 1/05/21/breen-hockey.html

which doesn't bode well for Vancouver, as they would lose their AHL "training" team, but it has been suggested that they'll take Atlanta's old team from Chicago.

Oh and Bettman sucks.

yes, he does.

why bettman fights for phoenix - to spite jim balsillie?

so now the word is that the atlanta thrashers are coming to canada.

i only heard about this a couple days ago, but apparently bettman has shot it down already...

"I'm not sure why these stories are starting, but I'm not going to weigh in on something that is purely speculative and made up," Bettman said. "The fact of the matter is, we're focused on making Phoenix work, and that's where we're directing our attention right now."

oy, vey.

the sticker on the PSU should say. if not, they make these PSU testers with fancy screens that will probably do the trick.

If you want a filter, for example because you want your child to be protected against filthy stuff, you have to subscribe to the applicable filter. All voluntarily, nothing mandatory.

so what's the problem with that? that's no different than going out and buying one of those cyber-nanny programs, except the kid can't get too smart and turn it off... it's not like you're being forced to use it.

~30-35mph. As far as I know, there are no corners in LfS that are driven slower than that.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Adds up to about 4GB thereabouts? Thus I believe games are being processed on an internal graphics chip and just being output through the 5570, likely as a default option that when an external video card is added, it (by default) also outputs through the VGA/HDMI/stupid connector that some ATI cards use.

that shouldn't happen, motherboards normally disable the onboard chip when an addon card has been installed.

the AI probably shouldn't be allowed to drive on the open configs... they aren't on autocross for the same reason (no paths).

edit: what thread am i replying to? i could swear it said it was an open config... bah, i'm going back to bed.
